Recent Financial Results
The company's latest quarterly results present a mixed picture, with revenue growth offset by significant losses. Revenue from operations reached ₹18,585 crore, marking a 6% increase from ₹17,535 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. However, the company reported a consolidated net loss of ₹867 crore compared to a net profit of ₹498 crore in the year-ago period.
| Financial Metric: | Current Quarter | Previous Year Quarter | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations: | ₹18,585 crore | ₹17,535 crore | +6% |
| Net Profit/Loss: | (₹867 crore) | ₹498 crore | Loss |
| EBITDA Margin: | 12.20% | 10.70% | +150 bps |
| EBIT Margin: | 9.80% | 7.80% | +200 bps |
Operational Performance Highlights
Despite the net loss, the company showed improvement in operational efficiency metrics. EBITDA margins expanded to 12.20%, witnessing an uptick of 150 basis points, while EBIT margin reached 9.80%, rising by 200 basis points. These improvements were aided by higher volumes and favorable realizations.
The company attributed the net loss primarily to mark-to-market losses on recently listed investments in Tata Capital worth ₹2,000 crore, which led to a profit before tax of ₹600 crore and net income of ₹900 crore. This institutional investment by BNP Paribas reflects confidence in the commercial vehicle segment's long-term prospects despite current financial challenges.
